https://tunnel2towers.org/The chief danger that confronts the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost,
Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration,
politics without God, heaven without hell.
William Booth“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.”
― William SaroyanThe inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings. The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery. -- Winston Churchill
Ignorance is not an opinion, liberals
I believe in Christianity as I believe the sun has risen; not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. C. S. Lewis
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

@ Z: What do you think Trump/USA should do?
People like Un are certainly capable of much mischief, but if you are able to give him credit for some intelligence, then one has to assume that he knows what will happen to him if he launches even one of his rockets toward any other country. I can’t speak for Un, of course, nor would I want to … but all I can say is that were it me, I would be thinking that not one of my missiles would get beyond mid-range Pacific before being blown to smithereens. Then I would be thinking, “Katie, bar the door.”

What we have here are two guys very much like Fredo, tryin to convince everybody that they’re “smaaht, not dumb like everybody thinks.” They want the world to see that they “can do things” and they “want respect.”
In more sophisticated terms, they crave legitimacy. The Nork Dork isn’t suicidal, merely egomaniacal. He doesn’t want a nuclear war, but he DOES want control of the entire peninsula and international recognition as a player. IOW, he wants to get in the game with the big guys, but so far he hasn’t had enough to make the ante, much less call the bets.
So over the past few decades, NorK has taken money, technology, food, cash, and everything else it needed from the US through extortion, from China as a Luca Brazi on its border, and from terrorist nations buying missile and nuclear weapons technology all under the protection of Don Kim. Now his boy Phat Un has the chips to play.
Trump is frustrated with the resistance, with the Mad MaxiPad impeachment obsession, with AntiFa and BLM and a balky Congress on both sides of the aisle, so he needs a win somewhere to wipe out the hit that Dems and RINOs made on his pledge to rid the nation of the Obamacare family. He wants to kick SOMEbody’s ass, and it doesn’t really matter whose so long as it’s a victory.
And now the One-Who-Would-Be-God and the I-TOLD-You-I-Could-Be-PotUS-If-I-Wanted-To have blustered themselves into the perfect gunslinger standoff, a classic staredown at the Kaesong Corral with the ego bet called, the reputation raise doubled, and the legitimacy stakes lifted.
Don Kim is convinced that he can bluff his way through this impasse and come out a winner, and The Donald is confident that his button men can neutralize his opponent’s stakes by taking out his capos and putting his own people in Kevlar.
As Clemenza tells us, we gotta have one of these every 5 years or so . . . 10 years . . . to get rid of the bad blood, just as they shoulda done with Hitler back in the 30s. And Don Trump has faith in his consiglieri to placate Don Xi and his people while he takes out that pimp Kim.
Nothin’s new under the sun. This sorta posturing has been going on since Khufu and Nebuchadnezzar. The only difference is that now the body count could be in the millions instead of the thousands.
Macht nichts, tho, ‘cause according to Don Meade, his personal hit-man Nibiru will wipe out the entire planet tomorrow, right?

Make no mistake about it. Kim is playing a deadly serious game. He could be damned if he folds, and damned if he doesn’t. His number one goal it to maintain his position of power in North Korea. His overall goal is to extend his hegemony over the entire Korean peninsula. He will have made a giant step towards this goal with international admittance to the nuclear club of nations.
In this particular round of the game he is close to getting recognition as a nuclear power. It is now a test of whether the USA and the rest of the world is serious about limiting Kim’s nuclear ambitions.
I forecast an additional kick-of-the-can in that Kim will back-off in this confrontation, and we will let-up on our insistence of him trashing his nuclear program. In other words I believe that Kim will win, again, and the next round of threats will see him in actual possession of a fleet of ready to launch nuclear tipped ballistic missiles.
It is much better now to go to war with North Korea now whether we are ready or not. That won’t happen.

What killed me was Yahoo’s headline which said “PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS YOUNG BOY MOW WH LAWN” Completely implying quite different than the true story….swine. As if he’d MAKE a kid mow the lawn?
Bocopro! I believe that’s the first time I’ve heard the Godfather and The Okay Corral linked together in any way, but it works!! VERY good stuff!
I laugh my patoot off when I hear the Left saying TRUMP WANTS TAX CUTS SO HE DOESN’T HAVE TO PAY MORE…. These are people who honestly think he’d cut taxes on the rich so HE can gain? Unreal. Also, why can’t they understand that cutting taxes for those who spend more than ALL TAXPAYERS (like pay 80% of the taxes?) helps them HIRE MORE, BUY MORE GOODIES…GIVE MORE TO CHARITY if they’re so inclined? Swinerei.
By the way, the way you describe Kim and Trump is absolutely spot on and does NOT help me feel better; this is a nuclear battle of out-of-control egos and that’s not reassuring!
MUSTANG: What would I do? I would pinpoint kill him and his cohorts. A missile, not nuke, just viable….a pinpoint hit wherever he is. Collateral damage welcome as long as it’s a bunch of his military thug buddies. OR I would try to work from the inside and from what I’ve heard it wouldn’t be tough to convince those cohorts to GET RID OF KIM.

@Kid “N Korea has been promising ‘Merciless Attacks’ for decades” — and thanks to Bill Clinton who re-classified a lot of the material NK needed to make nukes from ‘strategic’ (or something like that which made it hard to transfer the technology) to ‘commercial’ use which only required Ron Brown’s stamp of approval, the little rocketman got what he needed. Over time he’ll have it all. Thank God for Reagan’s start on an inceptor program!!
Remember, when the red Chinese first starting with missiles it was said that one of the most dangerous places to be on the planet was near the launch pad of a Long March Missile — because they were so poorly done and prone to fall over in place. Not any more!

I believe we have a deal with China that kimmy has to fire the first bona-fido shot.
We can determine the trajectory of a missile, and if it is determined that it will land on Japan, or Guam, or wherever as opposed to flying over, then we will shoot it down and then direct all our attention to destroying that moron in NK and their military capability. If I’m wrong I owe you 5 bucks.
We’ve also put some classified stuff into space lately. The latest one went up on a Saturn 5, so big stuff. I’m thinking if NK has any EMP satellites up there we’ve already taken them out and we’ll be able to address ICBM launches with spave based hardware as well. I Triple guarantee you. Would you like to be the president who lets a nuke fall on the USA on his watch ??

Well, an addendum – Supposedly NK is building a sub capable of firing Nuke ICBM’s. IF they were successful and IF they could get close enough to the US to deploy said ICBM’s that would be a case for a pre-emptive strike prior to them being able to launch the sub. That might be a bit much to gamble.

IMO, Un is a thoroughly dangerous man; not because he’s psychotic —we can’t know whether he is or not without extensive examination, but because he is one of those malignant narcissists who have never learned where the boundaries are. No one in North Korea will advise him because Un doesn’t like people to tell him what he should do … and so the danger is that this 32-year old petty tyrant is capable of doing this one thing constantly: STUPID. There can be no doubt that in dealing with Un, the United States has to be wary, on the other hand, there is no way the USA can bend over (ala Clinton/Obama) because in doing so, we only feed Un’s seriously self-absorbed ego. I’d say let him launch his missile … and then, as Donald Trump said … we’ll wipe North Korea off the map.
